'Customs' Foils Two Drug Smuggling Attempts from Ethiopia and India

As part of the General Customs Administration’s efforts to combat drug smuggling, inspectors at Kuwait International Airport detained a female passenger arriving from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, after she was suspected of involvement and subjected to inspection procedures in Terminal 4. The search yielded 564 bags containing marijuana, with a total weight of 1.763 kilograms. In another operation in Terminal 5, inspectors detained an Indian national and found seven envelopes containing a powder suspected to be heroin, weighing a total of two grams, along with an eight-gram piece of hashish.
